I have not had my sewing machine out for an age so I took advantage of the fact that I was spending a quiet Mother's Day at home to dust off the machine. I desperately needed to catch up with my Around the Block quilting bee blocks for April so that is what I worked on.
Rachel from the Four Wise Monkeys blog is making quilts for her boys. I loved the fabric she sent out and it was fun to play with in trying to come up with a couple of blocks withiing the style she requested.
Then I worked on a couple of blocks for Susie at Yarnplanner. More great fabrics to play with! I love the fabric Susie had printed with her son's name it, pity my month is next, I don't have time to borrow that idea...
Having finished April's blocks (finally) I am back up to date. Pity May is nearly half gone so I had best get moving on Rita's blocks and then cutting up and packaging my fabric because my turn is next! I am both nervous and excited about this!!
Glad to see that the machine is humming - love the blocks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my top - it is actually a dress that loos like two pieces but is just one - you know that ones with the belt at the waist (or should I get a photo of the whole thing for you:) My bardin buy as part of my birthay gift from Tim and the kids!
I love that first set of blocks. I want to thank you for your words over my blog. It feels good to know I am not on this traveling bus by myself.
